Abstract This paper will describe the BOS (Borneo Orangutan Survival) Foundation’s effort as an NGO in saving Orangutans. Orangutan is one of the endemic animals of the island of Borneo, which currently lives in threatening conditions. Bornean Orangutans are in the endangered category, and there are 57,000 individuals left. Even in the last 20 years, the population of Bornean Orangutans has decreased by 55% due to illegal logging, clearing of oil palm land, and poaching. Through the Convention on International Trade in wild plants and animals or the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), orangutans are one of the endangered primates and animals to protect. the author used advocacy theory in explaining BOS efforts. To face this situation, the BOSF is implementing an effort or way through social media campaigns with the #ClimbForOrangutan, #OrangutanFreedom, and #SaveDodo strategies. Another effort undertaken by the BOS Foundation to continue to fight in saving orangutans,including their habitat, is to work with overseas partners and organizations that also focus on animal rescue and conservation.
